Links with “?” will still work but fresh ones will come without it. Please let us know if you stumble upon something odd. Cheers. :-)

The Prodigy used a link shortened with Chilp.it on their main site to promote a free Mp3 track from the 2009 Special Edition of their latest album &#8220;Invaders must die&#8221;.
We like that!

These interruptions are indeed supposed to be very short and should not be longer than a few seconds.
